Sugar and MOlssses.

Col. Switzler, chief of the bureau of
statistics, has published quarterly report
ON sugar and mOlasses, which shows among
other things that ESQ per cent. of all
customs duties collected in 1885 was from
these articles. While in 1886, q per cent.
OF all customs duties collected on merchan.
disc was derived from sugar and molasses
The value OF these articles comprised only
Is per cent. Of the value OF imports of ali
merchandise and 20 per cent. Of the value
Of dutiable imported merchandise.
Sugar and molasses comprise our
pgincipal source Of revenue, and IL thsv
were dropped from the list, the surplus
would grow beautifully less with startling
Taptdity, for in 1856 the revenue
'collected from sugar and molasses ex.
eeedsd 6fty.one millions of dollars. Before
the war one fourth OF the sugar consumed
In this country was produced here, but
during the last year We produced only one
tenth OF our annual cOnsum ption. We
